With speakers, Dr. Gerry Breshears & Justin Thomas: Questions about homosexuality, same sex attraction and gender confusion have erupted, leading churches to be labeled as bigoted, repressive, and dangerous. Too many churches have reacted in a way that confirms that judgment in the minds of many. In our workshop, we will look at biblical foundations and wise pastoral strategies for engaging these questions with a goa...
With speakers, Richard Cimino & Chris McCarrick: All of us have heard the stories of lives and churches wrecked by moral failure within church leadership. Some of us know men who have fallen, know their wives and children, know those who served alongside of them, know people in those churches, and we’re at a loss for words to describe the carnage that followed. Perhaps some of us are the ones who have fallen. This wo...

With speaker, Char Brodersen: Should Pragmatism, Culture or Theology drive the Church’s Liturgy? The answer: Yes. But the order is vitally important. Come listen and discuss how we can develop rich, theologically stimulating, culturally relevant, engaging gatherings for the people of God.
With speaker, Dr. Gerry Breshears: Shall we ordain women? Can women be pastors? Such questions are deeply emotional and very polarizing. We will examine three major views held by Bible believing leaders and explore a variety of passages asking which view accounts for the most biblical data with the fewest difficulties, knowing good and godly people will connect the dots in different ways after agreeing on central tru...
